Can't remember the cost of the Kalbi, but a set lunch with bibimbap, do-it-yourself BBQ meat (choose between beef, pork and chicken) was $13.50, comes with free appetizers on the side too (Kimchi, a tofu and some cold vegetables). I briefly looked at the a la carte menu and most of everything is less than $20. tastewise- everything was unremarkable except for the BBQ meats. So if you are going to Maru, zoom straight in on the BBQ and don't waste your time on anything else :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12716084.post-91837184115554640052007-04-19T20:44:00.000+08:002007-04-19T20:44:00.000+08:00hungryboy: just wondering how much was the kalbi? ...hungryboy: just wondering how much was the kalbi? & if the side dishes were any good, or mostly the standard side dishes you tend to get here..? thanks!<BR/><BR/>so far i haven't seen the variety of side dishes in korean restaurants here, that we used to get in chicago / NYC kalbi places. like the green onion salad and stewed potatoes that i would have thought would be pretty popular here and easy to make (?). not too sure why that's the case tho.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12716084.post-80751725754031386902007-04-18T17:54:00.000+08:002007-04-18T17:54:00.000+08:00A slightly belated response to your post on Timbre...A slightly belated response to your post on Timbre. Bar Stop (next to Sushi Yoshida on Devonshire Road) has some of the best bar / lounge food I've ever tried. I liked nearly everything I ordered, such as the calamari, sausages and fried wontons. The sushi comes from Sushi Yoshida as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12716084.post-82827390481260710422007-04-18T13:40:00.000+08:002007-04-18T13:40:00.000+08:00Yeah the Robertson Quay/Mhd Sultan stretch is deat...Yeah the Robertson Quay/Mhd Sultan stretch is deathly quiet for lunch at least, which is just as well since I live around here, but makes you wonder about the viability of these places. Was at Banoo and Queen's Tandoor recently and each time we were the only customers! Maru used to be quite empty too until a Men's Folio write-up. <BR/><BR/>The Japanese restaurants seem to do better though, with Ichiban-Tei and Hakata catering to the many Japanese house-wives.<BR/><BR/>Wonder if you've tried the Japanese places near Shunjuu: Sugisawa (an izakaya type place), Menya Shinchan (which sells authentic ramen, the Light Miso Tonkotsu is not bad), SanguoKushi (Japanese Taiwanese food?!) and Mondo Mio (Japanese Italian). <BR/><BR/>Here's a review site from a japanese blog on japanese food in singapore:<BR/><BR/>http://satokaz.seesaa.net/category/1369771-1.html<BR/><BR/>If you can't read japanese, at least you can see the number of stars awarded to each place!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12716084.post-7908211649947924022007-04-18T11:36:00.000+08:002007-04-18T11:36:00.000+08:00the mhd sultan rd stretch doesn't seem to be doing...the mhd sultan rd stretch doesn't seem to be doing good for food or drinks now. it's almost deathly quiet. the vietnamese resturant at the corner is superbly quiet too. so quiet till i'm not even inclined to pop by. a few streets away at UE Square, Gyu Kaku is surprisingly crowded every other night.imphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05972285650055047710noreply@blogger.com
